> While the change detection currently only runs on a subset of about 2 million domains, the crawler is aware of approximately 36,000,000 domains in total, and about 1,500,000 of those are subdomains of tumblr.com.

So Tumblr makes up ~4% of all internet domains (or at least, all linked publicly-accessible domains)? Makes sense, but still wild to think about. I'd love to know what the top 10 domains (by sub-domain count) are.
